On the workbench: FW Tyranid ripper swarm

This week I've been catching up on a few commission projects, and have started one of nine FW ripper swarm bases that I'm doing for a client.

Still a little way to go, but here's the basic scheme for the models...

They are painted with the same basic colour choices as the rest of my client's Tyranid army, and I think that en masse they will look great!

I'm going to add some speckling to the exposed skin of some of the rippers, to add variation. These ripper bases are a lot of fun to paint. They are insanely detailed and drive you a little made during the painting... I must've gone over this base about ten times to make sure that I hadn't missed a claw, a tooth or an eye.
